Unveiling three new species in Boletaceae (Boletales, Basidiomycota) with multigene molecular phylogeny and morphological evidence from India

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Boletoid mushrooms are one of the dominant ectomycorrhizal fungal groups in Indian Himalaya. Unfortunately, many Himalayan forests are seriously underexplored in terms of these fungi. During three macrofungal explorations to Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, the authors came across three new species in Boletaceae . Morphological details coupled with illustrations and phylogenetic inferences of these species, i.e. Neoboletus deodarae , Sutorius paurianus and Harrya indosubalpina, are provided here. They are also compared with their closely allied or similar-looking Asian or extralimital taxa.
